From another direction the Senate
received a recommendation from its
judiciary committee for adoption of
a resolution to repeal the eighteenth
amendment. Plans were taken .ip for
its early consideration, possibly by
(he end of th* week.
Hearings went ahead on the LaFol

able the remainder of the $200,000,000
that the Reconstruction Corporation
was given last year for crop produc
ing loans. A little more than half the
amount has not been used.

By CHARLES P. STEWART
Washington, Jan. 9.—According to
Senator George W. Norris of Neb

“The farmer never will prosper un

“Steady employment for the city

farmer makes ends meet and a little

“Perhaps rural distress and urban

must be co-ordinated, for the two

propped up against a bed wiih two
guns crossed before him and the

Clyde Cranford, 15, the wounded

had been killed and his condition

attributed it to various causes.
Now that he is beyond the receipt
of more honor, what about the
“amazing hjold” you have <»i our
people. Naturally, you aided your
husband’s career—all wives do
that. But what made you so be
loved by the people? Overnight
you were swept into the highest
position, that can be held by an
American wtoman. Other “First
Ladys” had had perhaps greater
advantages, training, background
and social distinction. But you
showed that which teachers, travel
and social association can’t com

born in you, a dative dignity, a
sincerity, a modest graciiousness
that endears you to all. .
